Is intermittent throbbing/spasms normal 24 hours after removal of cyst from the top finger joint? surgery done at surgery center by hand surgeon
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably: 24 hours is not very long post op. As long as it is intermittent and there is no pus, increasing redness or swelling, I would give it another day or two. If symptoms persist or worsen over and past the 48-72 post op hour mark, call the hand surgeon.
